Recent trailers have revealed plot points that would normally be considered spoilers. Should studios stop doing this?

    Wow, that was cool.

    Instead, we get this over and over again.

      The first trailer felt like the sort of thing I could watch - I feel like I have an idea what the movie is about but don’t even know what their voices sound like.

      The one you linked is the reason I go out of my way to avoid trailers for literally any media that I might actually like. It spoils enough (even if it isn’t all of it) that it really ruins the media for me.

      I’d like to see a trailer that’s made entirely of outtakes (and I don’t mean where they bust out laughing while delivering their lines, more like ad lib, or scenes that got cut or whatever). It’d probably have to be for some sort of comedy, but like “this didn’t make it into the movie, you’ll have to watch it to see what did”. I feel that wouldn’t really spoil the movie, and would still give a decent idea of the thing…
